Atlanta Mayor Re-Issues Stay At Home Order For City

Tee Johnson March 27, 2020

2 Min Read
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Friday re-issued the stay at home order for the city under the spectre of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

Lance Bottoms’ actions mirrored the state of emergency she issued a week ago as a strategy to mitigate the spread of the deadly virus.

The mayor has been coordinating with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on executive orders at a time when the national response has been mixed.

The revised city of Atlanta order clarifies some exemptions as follows:
- Adds an exemption for landscaping and print shops
- and clarifies that package stores, such as liquor stores and wine shops, bike shops, and the insurance industry, are also exempt.
Lance Bottoms also fundamentally differs on the governor’s approach to stay at home orders, where Kemp has said he wants the local officials to lead.

During the virtual town hall Gov. Brian Kemp explained his decision not to issue a statewide stay at home order. ATL Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said while she respects the Gov’s position she “would have a stay at home order for the entire country.” #MorningRushATL pic.twitter.com/W0FvqFQqx7

Speaking to CNN, Lance Bottoms said, This could become an endless war for us if we don’t take this seriously and stop the spread.”

- Go to and from work
Read the emergency ordinance HERE

College Park city council also wants to remind citizens that individuals are still encouraged to maintain social distancing of at least six feet while in the presence of two or people.

“We definitely need to shut it down, but the difficult thing will be regulating the parks,” stated Ward II Councilman Derick Taylor. “Even when we shut those parks down, we have to trust that people will do the right thing for their families.”

When Does The College Park Curfew End?

The College Park curfew ends after the 14-day period marked by the morning of April 8, 2020, according to the city ordinance.

The Brady and Phoenix Trails are not included in the ordinance, the city said.

Cardi B Makes Some Good Points About Coronavirus (VIDEO)

Tee Johnson March 25, 2020

3 Min Read
Holed up in her Atlanta mansion, rapper Cardi B has been sharing updates about her self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many celebrities have gone silent about the pandemic, but not Cardi!

The entertainer recently posted a video in which she makes some good points on the mixed messages that the general public is getting concerning COVID-19.

Cardi B: People Are Getting Mixed Messages On COVID-19

If #45 is getting on a podium and saying, ‘Hey listen, if you do not have any symptoms … do not get tested, because we do not have enough tests to test everybody … but if a celebrity is saying, ‘I don’t have no symptoms … and I’m positive for coronavirus,’ that causes confusion,” she said on her IG.

That causes people to say, ‘Wait a minute now, I don’t have no symptoms but I know I went out that day. I might just have it … I”m scared because I’m around my kid, I’m around my grandparents … I might just have it. What should I do?” she said.

She also highlighted the major class lines around COVID-19 that nobody is really talking about.

“The general public, people who work regular jobs, the middle class, the poor …they’re not getting treated like the high — the ones that are up here (she raises her hand), the celebrities and everything — they’re not getting tested for coronavirus [especially not] the next day.”

Another hypocritical thing Cardi B brings out is that, if you’re under 30 and have a cold, helath professinoals are saying that if you don’t have that cold – or similar symptom — for eight days, they won’t test you.

“If you’re positive, they will tell you to quarantine in your home and don’t come back to the hospital] untli your temperature is 100-something degrees,” she says.

Cardi says she doesn’t feel that’s right. Also a lot of people live in close quarters and can’t

“If you’re sending me home and I have the coronavirus, I”m most likely going to give it to my spouse, my kids, anybody that’s around me.”

She also touches on the fact that celebrities have the money to pay for a COVID-19 test, but regular people don’t. So what’s the solution she says?

“I feel like the government should .. charge that [S..] to the game.”

What do you think? Do you agree with Cardi B?

Watch the video below:

Cardi B calls out celebrities & the government:

“If [Trump] is saying ‘if you don’t have any symptoms of the Coronavirus do not get tested because we don’t have enough tests’ but a celebrity is saying ‘I don’t have symptoms but I got tested & I’m positive’ that causes confusion” pic.twitter.com/VgKFqIBH8h

Waffle House Temporarily Closes Some Atlanta Locations

Waffle House has closed 419 of its restaurants across the nation, the eatery said this week. The Atlanta-based restaurant has not said why it took the actions, but it could be due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has closed large swaths of the U.S. economy.

Many restaurants, including Waffle House, have had to go to takeout orders only as the virus continues to spread across the nation.

On the Waffle House official Twitter account, the eatery posted a map that showed where the closings took place. Here’s where the restaurants stand so far:
- 365 Waffle Houses closed
- 1,627 Waffle Houses still open
In the Atlanta area, it’s a good idea to call your local Waffle House to see if it’s open.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency uses Waffle House to gauge how bad a natural disaster has affected the area.

What Is The Waffle House Index?

It’s been called the “Waffle House Index.”

A FEMA official was quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying that if the local Waffle House is closed, you know “it’s bad.”

Atlanta Mayor: Health Officials Recommend Closing Beltline

Tee Johnson March 24, 2020

3 Min Read
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is doing her best to navigate the concerns of the South’s largest city in the grips of the coronavirus pandemic.

On late Monday, she tweeted that she was closing down much of the city while still allowing essential services to carry on. her executive order came on the heels of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s similar order only affecting the “medically fragile.”

“Thank you @BrianKempGA for the updated state guidelines,” Lance Bottoms wrote. “Based upon our density & specific needs/concerns in Atlanta, I’ve signed a 14 day Stay at Home Order. As of now, this does not include essential businesses, parks,@AtlantaBeltLine & restaurants serving takeout.”

She says one of the city’s most popular landmarks has been identified by health officials as a place that needs to close down to stem the virus.

Coronavirus Pandemic: Will Atlanta Close The Beltline?

State and federal health officials have advised the public to practice “social distancing,” which includes staying at least 4 to 6 feet away from the next person.

Lance Bottoms says rather than shut down the Beltline, she wants Atlantans to use common sense while taking the current health advice to heart.

Here’s what she tweeted:

“Our public health partners haven’t recommended closure. However, while enjoying our parks & the trail, please exercise social distancing & remain at least 6ft apart. A good time to explore less congested portions of the trail.”

Lance Bottoms has taken a number of strong steps to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Atlanta, including:
- A two-week telework policy for City of Atlanta workers
- A moratorium on water cutoffs for people in the city
- A school system shutdown
“We just want to be as careful as possible,” she told NBC News.

The White House Coronavirus Task Force has recommended that people limit gatherings to 10 or less amid the pandemic.

Separately, after Kemp issued a stay-at-home order for the “medically fragile,” many people tweeted Lance Bottoms to get him to issue the order state-wide.

Many Republican governors are taking cues from the Administration and beginning to signal eases to the stay-at-home orders so that the economy can get back up and running.

White House: Pandemic Could Last Deep Into Summer

President Trump originally said the outbreak could stretch into “July, August” and well into the summer, dampening plans for millions of people looking forward to events.

He was also asked whether a national quarantine was something officials were considering, and he said, that regionally this was a thought, but not for the whole country.

More recently, Trump has posited that the lockdown should go on for “weeks” and not “months.”

Tee Johnson March 23, 2020

Effective Monday, March 23, public gatherings of 10 or more people in DeKalb County are prohibited, according to a state of emergency order issued by the county’s chief executive.

The order means that DeKalb residents are being asked to adhere to a voluntary curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. not unlike a handful of major cities in the United States.

DeKalb Curfew: Everything You Need To Know

DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond issued the order in response to the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to spread in Georgia.

“All employers and businesses that remain open to the public must take steps to restrict in person contact and maintain a distance of six feet between individuals in the establishment,” the order says.

Thurmond also issued a “shelter in place” order on March 27, which is an update to its emergency order.

DeKalb Issues Shelter-In-Place Order

The DeKalb shelter in place went into effect Saturday, March 28 at 9 p.m.

DeKalb says the following jobs are considered “frontline work force,” and basically essential:
- Police
- Fire
- Sheriff
- Watershed
- Sanitation
- 911
- Medical Examiner
- Roads & Drainage
- Senior Center Food Services
- Parks
- DeKalb-Peachtree Airport
The measure by DeKalb came the same day that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced a “shelter in place” order for all those who are “medically fragile.”
